Hi all,

So ive been on slimming world now for 5 weeks and lost 10 pounds however this week ive just felt really demotivated? Has anyone else been like this? I think its because I only lost 0.5lb this week which I know is going to happen. How do you all keep yourselves going?

10lbs is excellent though! Slow and steady wins the race By now you should be finding your clothes extra loose, and people noticing your weight loss. That's always enough motivation for me. You can do this!

10lbs is great- well done. I'm a slow loser, but like AliCat says- slow and steady wins the race.
I maintained a few weeks ago and had been so good- I could have cried. Some weeks it doesn't always go the way you plan, other times you might get a sneaky loss when not deserved. Try to look at it as a monthly target or break it down. You have averaged 2lb per week which is excellent progress.
